If you enjoy working with numbers and data, are detail-oriented, have good communication and organizational skills, and are comfortable using computers, accounting is a great career choice with expected steady growth in employment opportunities.

Graduates of this degree program learn a wide range of skills, including managing accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll. They also know how to prepare tax returns, prepare and analyze financial statements, and use computer applications proficiently.

The Associate's program in accounting offers the following areas of emphasis:

Banking

The banking emphasis in the accounting degree program allows Rasmussen College students to focus on general banking issues and practices they may encounter in the workplace. Students interested in the banking emphasis should enjoy working with customers. Banking students should also have an interest in learning the principles of lending.

Financial Accounting

Financial accounting is a substantial part of accounting that involves the collection, recording and extraction of financial information. The financial accounting emphasis includes classes such as payroll accounting and two intermediate accounting courses to prepare students to fulfill the needs of a financial accountant. Students will gain the skills to work in an accounting firm or in a small business.

Financial Investigation

Earning an Associate of Applied Science degree in accounting - financial investigation, opens the door to an exciting career path in the high demand area of fraud detection and prevention, while providing a complete and solid core in accounting skills. Companies are concerned with preventing loss due to fraud and have realized the importance of having skilled and trained financial investigation professionals on staff.

Tax evasion, public corruption, health care fraud, telemarketing fraud and terrorist financing are just a few of the types of crimes that revolve around money. In these cases, a financial investigation often becomes the key to a conviction. Traditional law enforcement relies on investigative tools such as crime scene analysis, physical evidence, fingerprint identification or eyewitness accounts. The limitations of these techniques become obvious to those who are trying to prove wrongdoing in a sophisticated financial crime. With no proof, there is no conviction.
